Crime analysis is one of the most effective tools available to support law enforcement agencies today. Data collection is worthless unless it easily understood and has relevance to the case. Analysis of information provides the indicators of what one has and what is missing. The analysis ultimately organizes the information in a way that leads possibly to prosecutorial success.

With this notion in mind, students will be required to develop a proposal of guidelines for starting an “analytical unit” within a police department.

Your proposal should include the following:

Mission, goals, and objectives
Role of analysis within the department
Staffing
Procedures
Training
Expected products

Instructions: The final paper needs to be 8-10 pages long (excluding the title page, abstract page, and reference pages), with APA formatting, citations, and references. Do Not Use MLA or any other form of reference.

You are to use a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed academic journal articles as the basis of your paper. Books are acceptable as a journal article. In addition to these, you may use government websites such as fbi.gov, bjs.gov, etc to demonstrate the data used in your topic. Newspaper articles can be used to describe an example of your topic.

Other websites are not usually acceptable, such as wikipedia.com, other .coms, .net, .org, etc. No opinion websites are acceptable. Magazines are not academic sources.

This is not an opinion paper, so the words, “I’, “I think”, “I believe”, “My opinion”, “I agree”, should not appear anywhere in your paper.

Your paper is to be 5 pages long. No excessive margins. 12 point font, and 1.5 line spacing is required. You must submit your paper in a format that can easily be opened such as a word.doc, etc. The bibliography is separate from the body of the text and does not count as one of the five pages.

reflect on the above topics. This course is focused on multicultural and anti-bias issues that support the development of cultural competence when working with children and families in early childhood settings. With this in mind,

Describe how you will demonstrate cultural competence in five of the exam topic areas of your choosing.
For each chosen topic area, develop a commitment statement that you can use in your future role. For example:
Learner Development: In order to support language development to meet the individual needs of the children in my classroom, I will use checklists to observe where children need additional assistance. Once I observe each child and document where each individual child needs assistance, I will support him or her one-on-one using developmentally appropriate language and literacy approaches. Some examples include providing a print-rich environment, reading aloud to children as a model of language, developing vocabulary through dual-language exploration, and providing engaging learning experiences in which children can use vocabulary and make meaningful connections across instructional activities.

Watch the video featuring Monarchs Stephen Keiley. Reflecting on Keileys comments regarding teaching and homelessness, address the following items:

Define the relationship between the struggles of parents and the struggles of their children. Defend your response.
Discuss how, as an early childhood professional, you would address the situation described in the video.
Describe how you would connect with the families at this school.
Recommend four strategies that support a consistent, effective, and reliable learning environment.

This assignment evaluates the current and potential future Business Model of an organization. You
run your own consultancy company and have been contacted by an agency called Fishlock
Associates. Fishlock Associates represent:
Mothercare Limited;
Thomas Cook Limited.
The fortunes of both these companies (Mothercare and Thomas Cook) have declined significantly in
recent years and now they require your help.

Consider your experience both within your own family of origin and when interacting with other families. What is different between these examples of families?

In the field of social work, it is imperative that you know how to assess families. When trying to identify what is happening within a family, a social worker must learn about the familys structure, identify their strengths, review their communication style, and understand the familys dynamics. Families are influenced by the unique individuals within the family, as well as by the larger cultural context in which the family exists. Families vary in how they define who is a member of the family unit, what role each family should play, and what the family dynamics are based on an individual members contributions to the family system. Often, the social workers role is to help identify trouble spots and help the family re-adjust to healthy system dynamics.

In this weeks Assignment, you provide an assessment of a family and provide an analysis of the family using a social work perspective with consideration to strengths, cultural values, and social work theory.

Identify the strengths in the family.
Explain where in the life cycle this family is located and how that may influence family dynamics.
